- In most cases, you'll want to assign permissions to an Azure AD user group or service principal, rather than to a series of individual user accounts. This lets you add or remove access for individual users through your tenant's Azure AD, rather than having to [update the delegation](../how-to/update-delegation.md) every time your individual access requirements change.
26

- Follow the principle of least privilege so that users only have the permissions needed to complete their job, helping to reduce the chance of inadvertent errors. For more information, see [Recommended security practices](../concepts/recommended-security-practices.md).

- Include an authorization with the [Managed Services Registration Assignment Delete Role](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md#managed-services-registration-assignment-delete-role) so that you can [remove access to the delegation](../how-to/remove-delegation.md) later if needed. If this role is not assigned, access to delegated resources can only be removed by a user in the customer's tenant.

- Be sure that any user who needs to [view the My customers page in the Azure portal](../how-to/view-manage-customers.md) has the [Reader](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md#reader) role (or another built-in role which includes Reader access).

When defining an authorization, each user account must be assigned one of the [Azure built-in roles](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md). Custom roles and [classic subscription administrator roles](../../role-based-access-control/classic-administrators.md) are not supported.

In some cases, even though roles with [`DataActions`](../../role-based-access-control/role-definitions.md#dataactions) permission are not supported, the actions included in a role may allow access to data, where data is exposed through access keys and not accessed via the user's identity. For example, the [Virtual Machine Contributor](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md) role includes the `Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/listKeys/action` action, which returns storage account access keys that could be used to retrieve certain customer data.

In some cases, a role that had previously been supported with Azure Lighthouse may become unavailable. For example, if the [`DataActions`](../../role-based-access-control/role-definitions.md#dataactions) permission is added to a role that previously didn't have that permission, that role can no longer be used when onboarding new delegations. Users who had already been assigned the role will still be able to work on previously delegated resources, but they won't be able to perform tasks that use the [`DataActions`](../../role-based-access-control/role-definitions.md#dataactions) permission.

As soon as a new applicable built-in role is added to Azure, it can be assigned when [onboarding a customer using Azure Resource Manager templates](../how-to/onboard-customer.md). There may be a delay before the newly-added role becomes available in Partner Center when [publishing a managed service offer](../how-to/publish-managed-services-offers.md). Similarly, if a role becomes unavailable, you may still see it in Partner Center for a period of time; however, you won't be able to publish new offers using such roles.

## Transferring delegated subscriptions between Azure AD tenants

If a subscription is [transferred to another Azure AD tenant account](../../cost-management-billing/manage/billing-subscription-transfer.md#transfer-a-subscription-to-another-azure-ad-tenant-account), the [registration definition and registration assignment resources](architecture.md#delegation-resources-created-in-the-customer-tenant) created through the [Azure Lighthouse onboarding process](../how-to/onboard-customer.md)will be preserved. This means that access granted through Azure Lighthouse to managing tenants will remain in effect for that subscription (or for delegated resource groups within that subscription).

The only exception is if the subscription is transferred to an Azure AD tenant to which it had been previously delegated. In this case, the delegation resources for that tenant are removed and the access granted through Azure Lighthouse will no longer apply, since the subscription now belongs directly to that tenant (rather than being delegated to it through Azure Lighthouse). However, if that subscription had also been delegated to other managing tenants, those other managing tenants will retain the same access to the subscription.
